Chapter 77: Claiming Sovereignty
The jeep stopped at the entrance of the village.
Ruan Fu jumped out of the car first and harvested the mulberry leaves for the next day as if she were familiar with the process.
It was a hot day and there was a man setting up a stall on the roadside, selling watermelons he had grown himself. The watermelons looked thin-skinned and juicy.
Ruan Fu immediately became interested and looked to the side, "Qin Fang, let's buy some watermelons."
Qin Fang only wanted to make her happy, so how could he not agree?
The stall owner, seeing the business coming in, immediately ran over and said, "Comrades, would you like to buy some watermelons? They're grown at home, so they're guaranteed to be sweet."
He took the initiative to cut a small piece and handed it over.
Qin Fang took it and handed it to Ruan Fu's mouth naturally, "Afu, try it first to see if it's sweet."
Ruan Fu didn't act coy, she took a bite and immediately smiled, "Mm, it's really sweet!"
Qin Fang's eyes were full of tenderness, and he smiled and said, "Boss, pick two bigger ones."
"Okay," the stall owner said happily, and started hitting the watermelon with his hand.
"In my opinion, there will be a happy event in our village soon."
Suddenly, I heard a burst of discussion.
Ruan Fu looked up.
There were a few people sitting nearby eating melons. The one who was talking was an old man with a scoundrel look on his face. I had seen him before. He seemed to be from the next village.
"That's nonsense. What kind of happy event could happen in your village?" someone asked.
The old man shook his head and said, "The Hu Fugui family is going to get married, and I have to go to the banquet then."
The people around couldn't stop gossiping: "His family does have some money, could it be that he's planning to find a wife for his son? He seems to be old enough, and I heard he's still a college student."
"It's not a son," the old man laughed strangely, "A pear blossom overshadows a crabapple blossom, but he's still strong in his old age."
This was a rare thing, and people around became interested.
You know, it's really rare for an old man to get married these days.
"Whose girl is he promising? The old man must be nearly eighty years old, and the girl's family is actually willing to marry him."
The old man chuckled and kept the secret, "She's from Lotus Village, and she's still a virgin."
Ruan Fu was full of doubts and wanted to continue listening.
Qin Fang immediately covered her ears and whispered in her ear: "It's not a good thing, don't listen."
The two people got closer and their postures became extremely intimate.
Ruan Fu was surrounded by the other party's breath, her ears turned slightly red, and she stood there in a daze, not daring to move.
The surroundings were noisy, but she could clearly hear her own heartbeat.
Boom boom boom, a lot faster than usual.
Qin Fang was not much calmer either.
This was the first time he had skin contact with Afu.
However, he didn't expect the skin under his hands to be so smooth, which made him feel extremely happy and even his palms were sweating.
This was just touching each other's cheeks. If the two of them could walk hand in hand on the street in the future...
Qin Fang was so excited that he swallowed subconsciously and didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Just then, the stall owner came over with two big watermelons in his hands, smiling.
"Look, this watermelon must be sweet."
Ruan Fu subconsciously struggled, as if she was caught doing something bad.
Qin Fang could only quickly let go of his hand, his expression suddenly looking a little lost.
After paying for the watermelon, Ruan Fu wanted to listen to some more gossip.
Qin Fang frowned and dragged her arm back.
"Anyway, it's not someone you know who will marry you, so there's nothing good about it..."
Ruan Fu turned around and looked at the group of people again. For some reason, she felt something was strange.
But what Qin Fang said was not wrong. This matter should have nothing to do with him. He just didn't know which girl was going to be in big trouble.
The jeep moved forward and Qin Fang first sent the person to the hospital.
"I'll help you deliver the mulberry leaves to the textile factory first, and then I'll come and pick you up for dinner."
Ruan Fu nodded, "Then you should go early and come back early."
Seeing the man enter the hospital gate, the next second, Qin Fang stepped on the accelerator and went directly to the textile factory.
He was filled with rage and anxious to find someone to settle the score with.
The guard stopped the jeep. He had never seen Qin Fang before and looked him up and down with a suspicious expression. "Who are you?"
"I have something to ask Wu, the purchasing manager at your factory."
Qin Fang took out the letter of introduction from his unit with confidence.
The other person took a look and thought, oh, this person is from a big unit in Beijing, he can't afford to offend him, so he hurriedly opened the door.
Qin Fang didn't hesitate and drove the jeep directly to the door of the purchasing office.
Wu Jianping is waiting at the door.
Logically speaking, Ruan Fu should have come to deliver the mulberry leaves by now, so why hasn’t she shown up for such a long time?
Unfortunately, I have no other way to contact the other party, so I can only continue to wait here.
Just as he was waiting anxiously, a jeep stopped in front of him, then the door opened and a very handsome young man jumped out.
Wu Jianping glanced at it but didn't pay much attention.
Just kidding, the beautiful woman herself might even take a second look, what’s so good about the man?
Unexpectedly, the other party walked up to him and asked directly: "Are you Wu Jianping?"
Only then did Wu Jianping look at the other person again.
He was sure that he didn't know this person. The young man was quite handsome, but he had an arrogant air as if he looked down on others.
Wu Jianping usually speaks quite arrogantly, but in front of this person, he always feels that his aura is suppressed. To put it bluntly, he can't even pretend to be cool.
"I'm Wu Jianping, what can I do for you?"
"It's like this," the young man directly opened the trunk of the jeep, which was filled with several large baskets full of mulberry leaves.
"Afu asked me to deliver it for her. She said it would be inconvenient for her to come over in the future, so I have to do it all."
He knew that although Ruan Fu didn't like Wu Jianping, she didn't dislike him either. In the final analysis, it was just that Wu Jianping's mother spoke too exaggeratedly.
So Qin Fang didn't intend to really offend this person, just keep a basic distance.
Wu Jianping stared at the mulberry leaves in a daze. He had thought of taking advantage of today's opportunity to discuss work matters with Ruan Fu, but he had no idea that she didn't show up at all.
Look at the man in front of me, tall and handsome.
Those who can help with this kind of thing must be Fuzi's closest people...
Thinking of this, Wu Jianping asked tentatively: "Are you Ruan Fu's brother?"
Brother? What is this guy thinking?
Qin Fang shook his head and smiled deliberately, "No, I'm Afu's boyfriend."
Wu Jianping widened his eyes, unable to believe his ears.
What did this person just say?
Date? How is that possible? When did Ruan Fu have a date?
But judging from the other party's tone, it didn't sound like he was joking at all.
This guy is so handsome and drives a jeep. He looks either rich or noble. I have to say, he is indeed much higher than me...
Wu Jianping gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it. Fuzi has never mentioned you before, nor has she ever said that she has a partner."
What Qin Fang wanted was the effect of declaring sovereignty. At this moment, his eyes looked like he was looking at a fool.
"Just get it straight. You two are just working partners. Why would she bring this up with you?"
